Fellows’ Recently Published Works
Supporting, promoting, and deploying artistic and humanistic scholarship for and by Carolina’s faculty
Through the Institute’s fellowships and programs, we support faculty by offering an interdisciplinary environment to pursue artistic and scholarly projects that lead to publication, exhibition, composition, and performance.
This opportunity not only shapes our Faculty Fellows during their semester in Hyde Hall, but also contributes to each respective field and discipline, and allows Fellows to bring the knowledge they have acquired back into the classroom.
Watch a video of Claude Clegg (FFP ’17), Julia Haslett (FFP ’18), and Chad Bryant (FFP ’19) talking about the impact of the Faculty Fellowship Program on their projects published in 2020 and 2021.
